Believers know that when we die we enter heaven and will spend
eternity there with God and the saints who have gone before us. But
what actually happens in heaven? What are we going to be doing
there? Won't it get boring at some point?
According to Scripture, a large part of our experience of heaven
will be a continual revealing of God's glory. Not just his glory in
the moment, but during all of time. The mysteries of providence,
the hidden movements of God throughout history, and the forgotten
and unnoted works of even the most obscure of God's people will be
unveiled so that we can see how wise, loving, gracious, and
powerful our God is. And though we will experience perfection in
heaven, we will never be omniscient, which means we will always be
learning more about God's glory, inspiring us to return joyful
praise and thanksgiving.
If your vision of heaven has been limited to clouds and harps and
angels, it's time to expand that view with the truth found in this
biblically based look at the afterlife.

"I have always loved what the Bible teaches about heaven. After
reading this book by my friend Andy Davis, I love heaven even more.
The book is theologically rich and opens up avenues of spiritual
reflection I had not previously considered. I, without hesitation,
commend the reading of this book to all."--Daniel L. Akin,
president, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
"Rather than speculate, Andy pulls insights from Bible passages
that give us a glimpse into the kinds of activities God will
continue throughout our time in eternity. He makes a clear case
that much of Scripture has implications for life in heaven. The
picture he paints will leave you longing even more for our eternal
home."--Kevin Ezell, president, North American Mission
Board, Southern Baptist Convention
